GETTING together with the girls is one of life’s great pleasures for 80-year-old Healesville grandmother Margaret Wilkinson.
Mrs Wilkinson, who turned 80 on 21 February, was especially delighted recently to have a visit from little Tanika Lee-Maree McGuinness. Tanika is the fifth generation of daughters in the family.
A resident at Holmwood Private Nursing Home, Mrs Wilkinson had 12 children and has 35 grandchildren, 49 great-grandchildren, and five great-great grandchildren.
Tanika’s parents, Tiffany Patterson and Shaun McGuinness, are also proud of their little daughter.
